a cracking post this evening for you is this 9 track offering from the hersham boys apparently recorded at the BBC in 78(cheers longy!).there is a longer version of this cd out there somewhere but until i get that one youll need this one.its a great cd and one that deserves to be played at top volume.so now please listen,enjoy and as i have a day off work tomorrow please leave a comment.thanks!

this collection of studio demos was originally released in 2000.its got 18 tracks in total including some tracks that would appear later with different titles and reworked lyrics.my fave is 'they dont understand' as it sounds just like the ramones!so if you dont have this its a great way to listen to some great original u.k punk.a lot of tracks (to me anyway)sound a lot different to the sham sound of hersham boys etc and this collection went straight on the eye-podd.so all you have to do now is listen,enjoy and then as youve bothered reading this far leave a comment.thanks!

this offering you see before you is a 10 min interview backstage with the clash and the undertones.its full of insight into joes 'mission statement' for the clash,thoughts on bootleggers and also has an extremely youthful looking undertones talking about ireland etc.anyway please watch,enjoy and as its wedneday leave a comment.thanks!

good evening listeners.today we have another post courtesy of camden dave and another posting for all the clash completists (myself included) tuning in this evening.this is the only album from the cortinas who were a band originating in bristol in mid 76 and featuring a certain nick sheppard who of course went on to further (in)famy as a member of the clash mk.2.i believe this album was originally released in 1978 and features 13 tracks of a distinctly pop pubrock powerpop kind of a vibe.i quite like it as it goes and this release also features the wonderfully named ' i trust valerie singleton'!!so just time now to tell you to listen ,enjoy and then leave a comment.thanks!and of course if the stars and planets are in allignment then the d/l link should be appearing right about now...... www.megaupload.com/?d=0MXBRPK9

p.s if anyone could point me in the direction of the cortinas 'peel sessions' that would be great.thanks very much
